C++ Skipping the rest of the current `for` iteration and beginning a new one.

Consider this C++ code

for(int i=0; i<=N; ++i)

{

if(/* Some condition 1 */) {/*Blah Blah*/}

if(/* Some condition 2  */){/*Yadda Yadda*/}

}

Is there any keyword/command so that if condition 1 evaluates to true and execution of /*Blah Blah*/ I can skip the rest of the current iteration and begin a new iteration by incrementing i.

The closest thing I know to this kind of statement skipping is break but that terminates the loop entirely.

I guess one could do this by using some flags and if statements, but a simple keyword would be very helpful.

Using the Continue statement, stops the current loop and continues to the next, rather than breaking altogether

This case seems better suited for if..else.. than a continue, although continue would work fine.

for(int i=0; i<=N; ++i)
{
    if(/* Some condition 1 */)
    {/*Blah Blah*/}
    else if(/* Some condition 2  */)
    {/*Yadda Yadda*/}
}

Use the keyword continue and it will 'continue' to the next iteration of the loop.
